The genotype is the part of the genetic makeup of a cell, and therefore of an organism or individual, which determines one of its characteristics . The term was coined by the Danish botanist, plant physiologist and geneticist Wilhelm Johannsen in 1903.
Learning modalities are the sensory channels or pathways through which individuals give, receive, and store information. Perception, memory, and sensation comprise the concept of modality. The modalities or senses include visual, auditory, tactile/kinesthetic, smell, and taste.
Motor pathways carry signals from the cerebellum to the skeletal muscles using upper and lower motor neurons connected via the pyramidal system or the extrapyramidal system. Sensory pathways carry sensory information detected by peripheral nerves in an ascending path through the spinal cord to the higher levels of the brain. Types of general somatic sensation include pain, touch, temperature and kinaesthesia (conscious proprioception).
